I'm out all day today so no more updates from me. District Line now has a less frequent service on the Richmond and Ealing Broadway branches, both running as far as High Street Kensington Essentially every line except the Circle and Victoria Lines is running in their suburban sections. Central London is a tube desert today for the most part- imagine it will be pandemonium on the buses later |

Would it not have been possible to terminate at Canonbury and then the driver run out of service to Highbury & Islington; or maybe this would have been too much hassle. Initially for a short while this morning the Elizabeth line was not running between Paddington (low level) and Liverpool Street (low level) The central line initially from the east was terminating at Stratford, they then seemed to have later extended this to Liverpool Street |

Generally the traffic was lighter today than many other strikes. The services running was less, so there should have been a worst impact. But I believe the Elizabeth line helped massively in this context. By 7am many buses were severely full and leaving people behind. What I do not understand is, why is it just RMT striking more than any other union. I fully understand them on pensions and would support that 100% but the fact they want TfL to keep many of the station assistant posts are beggars belief. There are some that are helpful, but many do sweet FA and are generally miserable and not approachable. I have seen a few times they even shunning there duties when tourists etc do not understand the ticket concept system and have had to tell them how to use the oyster or travelcard in the gates when you have a lazy station assistant just either watching or talking to another colleague. As it happened: All London Tube lines hit by strikewww.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-england-london-61664520RMT tells mayor to 'stand up for your staff'
Vanessa Feltz BBC Radio London presenter John Leach from the RMT Union told me the situation is "pretty dire". Speaking on my BBC London Breakfast show, he said: T fL is essentially still bankrupt since coming out of the pandemic, its finances are in complete disarray, and they are living from one bailout to another with the government. They run out of money on 24 June.
During the negotiations with the government, the mayor of London and his finance team are putting on the table the pension scheme, hundreds and hundreds of jobs, people’s terms of conditions of employment.
If you’re a station worker at Victoria which is where I am at the moment, they are facing a potential reduction of just under 50% of all the staff. The rosters, the shift work that they do here, would catastrophically become worst. It’s bad enough anyway when you’re a shift worker, their pensions are also being put in jeopardy. At the moment they’re at a standard final salary pension scheme, that’s all being put off to be reviewed but TfL are frontloading that review by saying they have to save £400m a year off the scheme.
The 600 station jobs they want to get rid of right now saves £25m a year, they've got to save £500m by next March – these figures are astronomical. We’re not making them up, they are figures they’ve given us themselves.
The world has changed as a result of the pandemic, there are more people working from home, but you still need a vibrant Tube network and TfL moving millions of people every day. That needs to be invested and financed properly.
What the mayor of London needs to do is a proper deal with the government. He’s got himself into a complete mess, one bailout to another from people who are not his political friends and they’re playing political football amongst themselves with all of this.
Most of the management in TfL and LU (London Underground) would privately agree that the tactics of driving down costs by getting rid of hundreds and hundreds of jobs, attacking peoples terms and conditions and their pensions isn’t just morally wrong, but actually it will not deliver what they want.
Do a proper deal and stand up for your staff. |
